Alabama SB211 expands sick leave bank policies for education employees, allowing direct donation of sick leave and removing caps on catastrophic sick.

Alabama SB211 amends existing law to expand the definition of "educational authority" to include local boards of education, two-year and four-year public institutions of higher education, and certain other public schools. The bill requires the State Board of Education to adopt a model sick leave policy, which educational authorities must implement. This policy allows employees to donate their earned sick leave directly to any other employee, even if they work for different educational authorities.
